Fee-based HealthTech & MedTech accelerators
These healthtech programs charge a participation or membership fee instead of taking equity. That keeps your cap table untouched, but it means you are the customer, so weigh the fee against what the program concretely provides: hospital site visits, pilot introductions, or a workspace and community. Fees are listed where the program publishes them.
